Tata Tigor Review – Exteriors

The Tigor gets a lot of design from the Tiago. The panels are also shared with the donor hatchback. Adding to this, the front-end will be mostly the same. Whereas, the rear-end looks completely new. In short, the design of the Tigor is expected to be a lot similar to the Tiago till the C-pillar, after which the primary difference arises out of the longer rear overhang. The Tigor beautifully sports smoked headlamps with projector units.

The rear part of the Tigor looks classy with a notchback styling. It has a pair of split taillights with LED fixtures. The rear bumper features a black insert and some chrome appliques. This recessed black element also gives space to the reflector units and reverse lamp. There’s also a roof-mounted rear spoiler featuring an additional stop lamp. The Tigor’s final production form gets a different set of allow wheels.

Tata Tigor Review –Interiors

Much like the exterior, the interior of the upcoming Tata Tigor is identical to the Tiago’s cabin. It has the same all-black cabin with glossy black highlights. That said, it will feature additional equipment. On higher variants, the air conditioning would be done by an automatic climate control system. This car too will get a short-diameter three-spoke steering wheel that will compliment an audio/telephony controls on the higher variants. Other highlights of the cabin will be –, a 2-DIN audio system, rear wash/wipe, rectangular aircon vents, rear defogger, rear defogger and electrically adjustable ORVMs. The above image is that of the Tata Tigor Geneva Edition.
